The Loch Lomond 9 Years Old Rivesaltes Austria Exclusive Cask 2013 is a single cask bottling limited to just a few bottles, which was selected exclusively for the Austrian market. With a strong 56.2% vol. in a 0.7 l bottle and supplied in a high-quality gift box (UK), this special edition is aimed at discerning connoisseurs who appreciate complexity, cask strength and individuality in a whisky.
Distilled in 2013 and matured for nine years, this single malt gets its final character from its maturation in a former Rivesaltes wine cask - a French sweet wine known for its aromatic depth. This particular cask choice gives the whisky a rich, fruity profile with sweet and spicy accents, which blends beautifully with Loch Lomond's distinctive house style. As one of the few distilleries with different types of stills, Loch Lomond is able to create different styles in a targeted manner - which is also reflected in this complex bottling.
Each bottle comes from a single cask and is neither chill-filtered nor colored - a truly unique product that will delight collectors and connoisseurs alike.
